Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

4-Hydroxy TEMPO was significantly more toxic to tumour cells than to the corresponding normal cells. No difference in cytotoxicity was observed between cell lines with a multidrug resistant phenotype and the corresponding parental cell lines or between estrogen sensitive and insensitive cell lines. After 2 h exposure no cytotoxic effect was observed, after 24 h irreversible cell damage occurred, that increased with increasing exposure time. The hydroxylamine was significantly less cytotoxic. The cytotoxic action was inhibited by co-exposure to acetylcysteine. Exposure to TEMPOL for 24 h induces a dose dependent accumulation of cells in the G1 phase, upon longer exposure times an increase in G2/M cells is observed. After 24 h exposure to 2.5 mM TEMPOL no detectable DNA degeneration was observed in HBL-100 cells, whereas in MCF-7WT cells internucleosomal DNA fragmentation indicative of apoptosis was observed.
